I have installed Conquest of the New World (CD Version, not Deluxe) off the CD. When it installed, it found the CD and installed off the CD no problems. However when running with the CD still in the drive, it is saying it can't find the CD.

Running Dosbox 0.72

Mounted the CD onto D: (it really is D:)
Mounted data from a folder I've created E:\DOSCDrive onto C:

Running Windows Vista x64 edition.

PS remarkable that this open source project could even get these 16 bit apps to run when MSOFT can't, well done!

What command did you use to mount the CD?

Initially: mount d d:\

Fixed it by changing it to: mount D "D:" -t cdrom -ioctl

Though its very "juttery" playing the video introduction at the start, just played through the tutorial again no problem though.

You can try creating an CUE/BIN image of the CD and use the imgmount command instead of the ordinary mount command. Using a CD image should speed things up when playing videos.
